I'm so glad you made the time to see me
Bm
How's life, tell me how's your family
GDA
I haven't seen them in a while

You've been good, busier than ever

These days I haven't been sleeping
Bm
Stayin' up playing back myself leaving
GDA
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
D
Then I think about summer all the beautiful times
Bm
I watch you laughing from the passenger side
GDA
And realized I loved you in the fall
BmA
And then the cold came the dark days
DG
When fear crept into my mind
Bm
You gave me all your love and
AG
All I gave you was goodbye

I miss your tan skin your sweet smile
DA
So good to me, so right
BmG
And how you held me in your arms

That September night
ABm -stop
The first time you ever saw me cry
G -stop
Maybe this is wishful thinking
D
Probably mindless dreaming
(D) A *once
If you loved again I swear I'd love you right
